For greatest
accuracy, have someone else take your measurements,
preferably a professional. Your bust measurement is
the most important in determining your gown size.
Here's how to measure:
Height: Stand barefoot against a wall. Place a stiff
paper across the top of your head and mark the spot.
Measure from marked spot to the floor.
Bust: Wear the exact
bra (or bra of similar style) that you intend to wear
under your dress. Then, with your arms by your side,
have someone else measure around the fullest part
of your bust.
Waist: Measure around
the narrowest part of your relaxed waist - one inch
above your navel.
Hips: Measure around
fullest part, around 7 - 9 inches below your waist.
PLEASE NOTE: Bridesmaid
manufacturers DO NOT offer standard sizing. Most bridesmaid
dresses run smaller than normal clothes. Your measurements
are used along with a size chart to help determine
the best size for you. Dresses are NOT made to your
measurements and in most cases alterations are necessary.
Alterations are not included in the price. The
size chosen is ultimately your decision.
If your measurements are between sizes,
we recommend that you order the larger size, as it
is easier to take a gown in than to let it out.
